Good morning…the day started off well until we turned \u00c2\u00a0the television off. The boys stared fighting…imagine that…I started speaking loudly which soon turned to yelling and I have now locked myself in my room for a “Mommy Time Out”, so that I will not turn yelling into screaming…and we are halfway through our “Year of Change”.<\/p>\n
The mister tells me that #182 is the halfway point for the year. Wow, I can’t believe that we are halfway through 2011.<\/p>\n
Today is the Swim Team Relays…they start at 1:45p.m. which is a welcome change to 6:00 a.m. The boys are excited for the day. It seems that this is one of the most fun days of the season. \u00c2\u00a0Gatorade…hot dogs…snacks…treats and team mates….good times.<\/p>\n
The boys have picked the lock to my room (Seriously…I locked myself in) and have decided that a nerf gun war is the way to go to change my attitude. \u00c2\u00a0I can only laugh because the morning has ultimately been a comedy. My beautifully made bed has now become a pillow bunker\/fort with the youngest taking aim and shooting at me hitting me and the keyboard. \u00c2\u00a0I’ll blame all typographical errors on flying nerf bullets.<\/p>\n
The boys want to go tho the Fireworks stand today and ride their bikes while I take a run…I should really take a run.<\/p>\n
The dogs need exercise and I have some sunflowers to plant at Grandma’s house…maybe we can kill two birds with one stone so to speak.<\/p>\n
The cotton is falling in bushels\u00c2\u00a0from the tree in our backyard which is causing one heck of a headache for me, and an annoying mess every time we open the backdoor to let the dogs in and out. Not only do I need to vacuum dog hair and dust bunnies….now I have to track down fluffs of cotton as well.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I cleaned out underneath the boys beds…ugg…I filled a hefty bag with candy wrappers (I have no idea where the candy wrappers come from) broken toys, broken pens, dirty clothes and forgotten items that I am sure they will never miss. It took most of the day….then we were off to a private swim lesson where both boys almost mastered the art of diving off of a platform. Good job boys!!<\/p>\n
Just so you all know…the nerf war rages on while I am writing…little boy noise, bullets missing and hitting, a freaked out dog and of course the rip roaring headache…where is the Calgone\u00c2\u00a0when you need it. Does anyone remember the commercial…”Calgone take me away”? It was a bath oil or bath salt commercial from years ago…I could really use some right now…just got hit with a shot to the head…and a sincere apology.<\/p>\n
Well I have to head to the store for ice and gatorade for the Relays…also I better take that run and get the critters to Grandma’s for a run. \u00c2\u00a0I would run with the dogs, but they are too fast and tend to run in two different directions…it will be challenge enough to keep the boys on track. Dad is getting a haircut…I am sure he is sad to be missing out on all the fun here.<\/p>\n
Until tomorrow….God Bless and please God grant me patience<\/p>\n
